Why each option
To allow users to analyze Power BI dataset data directly in Excel, after granting Build permission, you must ensure the report's export data settings permit this action.
Changing default visual interaction for the report affects how visuals interact within the report itself, not how users connect to the dataset externally via Excel.
Changing the "Export data" setting for the report to allow "Summarized data, data with current layout and" is necessary for users to export underlying data or connect to the dataset via Analyze in Excel. The "Build" permission enables users to create new content from the dataset, and this setting controls the granularity of data they can access for export or direct connection.
Changing the "Export data" setting to "None" would prevent users from exporting any data from the report, directly counteracting the goal of analyzing data in Excel.
Certifying the dataset enhances its discoverability and trust within the organization but does not directly enable or disable the ability for users with Build permission to connect to it via Excel.
